No point in designing legislation when there is no chance of it being voted on in this parliament.

As I said, the major issue is secular marriage has no religious exemptions. And this will be decided once the High Court decides foreigners like Baa Baa are not legal politicians, and the coalition government falls. The next parliament will then have a mandate to legislate for secular marriage equality.

“Same-sex marriage supporters claim cars were used as weapons in the first violent clash between ‘yes’ and ‘no’ campaigners ahead of the postal vote,”

reported news.com.au.

Channel 9’s Today show sympathetically interviewed the woman it claimed had been injured, Jessica Payne, who posed in front of the ambulance called to treat her.

“I suffered an injury because people drove their cars nearly at full speed into the yes campaigners here today,”

Payne said.

The reporter did not challenge her story, even though Nine’s own footage showed just one car trying to get through, very slowly.

What a complete hoax.

First, the ACL says it had already called off its meeting at the church because of the threats from activists.

Second, its meeting was not about same-sex marriage at all, but the Safe Schools program.

Third, as The Australian later reported, police say no cars were driven at “nearly full speed” into the crowd, and the woman allegedly injured refused treatment when the ambulance arrived.

A grandfather who’d wanted to go to that meeting has told me he is furious: “Can you imagine my outrage today when the misleading media said there was a clash between pro- and anti-same-sex-marriage supporters! Fifty years of paying taxes and I cannot even go to a meeting now without harassment at best and cancellation at worst.”

And then being blamed by the media for the violence of the Left.

and this is why people will VOTE NO!!!!

Good investigative piece, Mechanic. Now you know how it feels when we expose your articles.
